Do It Now or Note It Now

“The organized person is someone who has already done what you are thinking of doing.”

This is an easy litmus test you can use when you need to know what to do when you don’t know what to do. It’s called DO IT NOW or NOTE IT NOW and it will really help you define what actually should be done right away and what can be noted and done later.

DO IT NOW:

• If it is an emergency or crisis.
• If it finishes your present task and you can achieve completion.
• It can be done quickly and will not interrupt or distract from your present schedule.

NOTE IT NOW & SCHEDULE FOR LATER:

• If it is not an emergency.
• It will interrupt what you are presently focusing on.
• It is a low level “irritant”, repetitive task (like email) or something that can safely be delegated to someone else.
